In the midst of conflict, a glimmer of hope emerges in Lebanon's Bekaa Valley. A family-owned stable has taken in 18 horses who survived Israel's carpet-bombing of their home in south Lebanon. The rescued thoroughbred Arabian and European horses are receiving constant attention from the stable employees, who have been working tirelessly to nurse them back to health.
As the region continues to reel from the devastating effects of war, this small act of kindness is a testament to the resilience of both humans and animals. The stable's owner, Zakaria Araji, has shouldered the responsibility of caring for the injured horses at his own expense, demonstrating the importance of compassion and empathy in times of crisis.
